5 Dessert Places Near Brookhaven, MS That Are Worth the Drive

When you absolutely, positively, must have dessert (haven’t we all been there?), you can find a number of local purveyors quietly baking, shaking, and making all kinds of items so you can get your supply the moment it’s needed in the Brookhaven, MS area. 

5 Dessert Places Near Brookhaven, MS That Are Worth the Drive

1. Janie’s Pastry

You might want to start with Janie’s signature dish, chicken on a stick, or another of their sandwiches or wraps, just to ground yourself before diving in to the selection of pastries and cakes. Otherwise, you might feel a little powerless before their frosted hot fudge and salted caramel brownie cheesecakes, chantilly cream bowls packed with fruit-topped cream in a crunchy shell, cinnamon bites, iced cookies, red velvet, or s’mores fudge, and more!

2. Donut Palace

People love the friendly folks here as well as the sweet (and savory) treats turned out fresh. No surprise: this place specializes in donuts galore and donut holes, and you’ll find chocolate frosting and sprinkles everywhere. There are pastries like croissants and apple fritters, too. While you’re there, you could hatch a plan to swing by for breakfast goodies like ham and cheese croissants, breakfast burritos, pigs in a blanket filled with hot dogs, and more.

3. snowHaven Snowballs

Yes, the spelling is part of the brand style here at this shop focusing on snow cone-ish ice treats that you can top with sweetened condensed milk or make extra sour; you can also get ice cream, cheesecake, or fresh fruit. What is a snoBlast? It could be a “New York-style cheesecake blast” item that is “stuffed with a slice of real cheesecake” that then gets topped with cream and a choice of syrup. There’s a strawberry version, too. Are you curious yet?

4. Sweet & Petite

Make way for bakery treats that are cutely petite! Petite chess squares, turtle brownies, and cupcakes are all available, as well as cookies, plus cake and cheesecake by the slice. Everything is so reasonably priced, too. You, therefore, have the option to stay inside the lines easily and choose a small portion for an affordable sum. We admit, though, that another good idea might be to just pick (at least) one of everything and make sure you don’t miss out.

5. Maddox Cheesecakes

Sometimes you’re looking for high-quality sweet stuff on the go. Think picnics, last-minute birthday bashes, whatever. They offer whole cheesecakes to order, and this local bakery operation provides treats to finish off dinner at local restaurants such as the upscale Southern kitchen called Betty’s Eat Shop, but you can also get their professionally presented gourmet offerings by the slice at Serio’s Pizzeria and Magnolia Blues BBQ in Brookhaven.


Whether you’re thinking “Destination … donuts!” or you just want a cooling ice cream or snowball treat, your new Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD LTZ pickup will be happy to cart you, your friends, or the family out to the shops in comfort. Or, you could recruit a nice pre-owned GMC Sierra 1500 SLT to assist you in your cheesecake expedition. See the selection of fine rides now at Stan King GM SuperStore, and be on your way to pick up those pastries!
